Hi, Dr. Mel, could you please elaborate a bit more on the expected outcomes of probation service in HK? I mean, can I count the number of offenders who have received probation service as the outcome? I am confused!

The number of recipients of probation service may count as outputs, rather than outcomes. Outputs usually refer to the tangible products of activities performed during the service, while the outcomes are changes expected to be observed on the recipients.

Hi there. While it sounds like data visualizations are so valuable, I wonder if there is any weakness about it that social workers should keep in mind?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
